Stereolithography - what you need to know about the technology
Stereolithography - what you need to know about the technology
What is stereolithography? How it works? Where did this name come from? We cover all the basics of this impressive and outstanding technology, including pros and cons, comparisons and more!
What is stereolithography?
Stereolithography - more commonly referred to as SLA - is one of the most popular and widespread methods in the additive manufacturing world.
The technology works by using a powerful laser to solidify a liquid resin that is contained in a tank to create the desired three-dimensional shape. In a nutshell, this process converts photosensitive liquid into three-dimensional solid plastics in stages using low laser power and photopolymerization. nine0006
SLA is one of the three main technologies used in 3D printing, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). It belongs to the category 3D printing resin. A similar technique, which is usually grouped with SLA, is called Digital Light Processing (DLP). It represents a kind of evolution of the SLA process, using a projector screen instead of a laser.
Stereolithography: history
Although SLA is less popular than FDM, SLA is actually the oldest additive manufacturing technology.
This method was developed by the American company 3D Systems, founded by Chuck Hull in 1986. In 1986, Hull coined the term "stereolithography".
He defined this technology as a method of creating three-dimensional objects by successively printing thin layers cured with an ultraviolet laser.
In 1992, 3D Systems created the world's first SLA machine, which made it possible to fabricate complex parts in seconds.
Stereolithography: Components
Each standard SLA 3D printer typically consists of four main components:
- Tank filled with liquid photopolymer. Liquid resin is usually a clear and liquid plastic.
- Perforated platform immersed in the tank: the platform is lowered into the tank and can move up and down according to the printing process. nine0161
- High Efficiency UV Laser
- Computer interface that controls both platform and laser movements
Stereolithography: how does it work?
Software
As with many additive manufacturing processes, the first step is to develop a 3D model through CAD software.
The resulting CAD files are digitized representations of the desired object. nine0006
If not automatically generated, CAD files must be converted to STL files. Standard Tessellation Language (STL) or "Standard Triangular Language" is a file format native to stereolithography software created by Abert Consulting Group specifically for 3D Systems back in 1987. STL files describe the surface geometry of a 3D object, ignoring other common CAD model attributes such as color and texture.
The preprinter step is for feeding the STL file to the 3D slicer software such as Cura. Such platforms are responsible for generating G-code, native language 3D printer .
SLA 3D printing
When the process starts, the laser "draws" the first layer of print into the photosensitive resin. Where the laser strikes, the liquid solidifies. The laser is directed to the appropriate coordinates using a computer mirror.
It's worth mentioning at this point that most desktop SLA printers work in reverse.
That is, the laser points to the build platform, which starts low and gradually increases. nine0006
After the first layer, the platform rises according to the thickness of the layer (usually about 0.1 mm) and additional resin can flow below the already printed part. The laser then solidifies with the next cross section and the process is repeated until the entire piece is complete. Resin that is not touched by the laser remains in the vat and can be reused.
Post-processing
After the material has cured, the platform is lifted out of the tank and excess resin is drained off. At the end of the process, the model is removed from the platform, rinsed with excess resin and then placed in a UV oven for final curing. Post-print curing allows objects to reach their highest possible strength and become more stable. nine0006
Alternative Process: Digital Light Processing
As we mentioned earlier, one of the descendants of SLA is Digital Light Processing (DLP).
Unlike SLA, DLP uses a digital projector screen to flash one image of each layer across the entire platform. Since the projector is a digital screen, each layer will be made up of square pixels. Thus, the resolution of a DLP printer corresponds to the size of a pixel, while with SLA it is the size of a laser spot. nine0006
Stereolithography Pros and Cons
Pros
- SLA is probably the most accurate functional prototyping method on the market.
- Prototypes can be created to extremely high quality, with fine details (thin walls, sharp corners, etc.) and complex geometries. Layer thicknesses up to 25 µm can be achieved, with minimum dimensions ranging from 50 to 250 µm.
- SLA provides the most accurate dimensional tolerances of any rapid prototyping or additive technology: +/- 0.005" (0.127 mm) for the first inch and an additional 0.002" for each additional inch. nine0161
- Print surfaces are smooth.
- Build volumes can be up to 50 x 50 x 60 cm³ without sacrificing accuracy.
Cons
- The printing process is usually slow: depending on the size and number of objects created, the laser can take a minute or two for each layer. Large objects require long runs.
- Sharp corners and protrusions require structures to be supported during the printing process. Such parts can potentially break down during the printing or curing phase. nine0161
- Resins are relatively brittle and therefore not suitable for functional prototypes or mechanical testing.
- SLA offers a limited selection of materials and colors, typically offering black, white, gray and clear material.
- The cost of SLA printing is relatively high.
SLA vs. FDM
In FDM, fiber is fed through a hot extruder and deposited in stages. The materials used are usually thermoplastics, but they can be mixed with other elements including wood, metal and carbon fiber. This is one advantage over SLA, which has a limited selection of materials.
nine0006
The resolution of FDM depends on the size of the nozzle, as well as the accuracy of the motors in the X and Y axes. SLA usually creates objects with a higher resolution than FDM due to the small optical size of the laser.
Post-processing with 3D printed FDM includes removing supports (if necessary) and smoothing surfaces. In the case of SLA, an isopropyl alcohol bath removes excess sticky resin. In addition, the post-cure phase provides a higher strength of the photopolymerized object. (However, this still doesn't result in the object being mechanically strong or durable like FDM printing.)0006
Material cost for FDM is much lower because printers are more affordable and plastic spools are cheaper than resin.
In a nutshell, if high precision and a smooth finish are your priorities, SLA will be your best bet. If cost and (to a lesser extent) durability play a role, use an FDM printer.
SLA vs. SLS
Selective laser sintering (SLS) takes a completely different approach.
Like SLA, it uses a laser but has higher power and is used to fuse fine powder. Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) are similar methods but are optimized for metals and alloys instead of thermoplastics. SLS works primarily with nylon, polystyrene and other polymeric materials. nine0006
The main strength of SLS printing is their superior strength and durability. Also, they can be complex geometries that are not possible with SLA (or FDM). While SLS can produce prints with greater detail than FDM, they are not typically compared to the accuracy of SLA.
Thanks to their powerful lasers, SLS machines incorporate more advanced technologies, including special protection against harmful UV radiation. This results in printers costing more, with several desktop or desktop options available. nine0006
In addition, SLS powders are more expensive than liquid photopolymers.
In a nutshell, if your high mechanical strength and complex shapes are your priority and cost is of secondary importance, use the SLS printer.
